Anne Leigh Rudeen, Author, Teacher and Force of Nature,

Moves on to Next Adventure

The author of six published novels and a unique, independent spirit who left an indelible impression on everyone who knew her, Anne Leigh Rudeen passed away peacefully at her home in South Salem, N.Y., on Sunday, July 3, 2016. She was 85, although her outlook and energy level was far more youthful. Her passions included attending rock concerts, taking Zumba classes, reading the New York Times, creating art projects, and generally making everywhere she lived and every life she touched all the better for her presence. A resident of South Salem for more than 50 years, she also owned a home in New Port Richey, Florida, where she spent each winter season.

Anne Leigh Rudeen, née Snyder, was born on June 27, 1931 in Topeka, Kansas, to Frances Louise and John Thomas Snyder. The Snyder family, which included Anne’s younger sister, Patricia, settled in Great Bend, Kansas, where her father worked for the electric company and owned a hardware store. Anne’s stories about growing up in Great Bend, which is in America’s geographical center or as Anne put it, the “belly button” of the United States, were highly entertaining and memorable.

Anne attended Great Bend High School, then spent her senior year at a Ward Belmont College in Nashville, Tennessee, where she was a self-described “floorboard debutante”, going hunkering down on the floorboards of the cars of forbidden beaux to hide as they drove through school grounds. She was admitted to Kansas University in Lawrence, Kansas, and pledged the Chi Omega sorority. An English major and member of the college newspaper staff, she met Kansas City resident and fellow KU student Kenneth Rudeen at “The Shack” where the school newspaper was published. Ken Rudeen, KU college correspondent for the Kansas City Star at the time, frequently phoned in his stories to the paper from The Shack. The two were married in Great Bend just days after they were graduated from KU − Anne with Phi Beta Kappa honors − in 1951.

Ken was drafted into the Army during the Korean War, primarily serving in Baltimore, Maryland, where Anne worked as a teacher. Once Ken was discharged from the Army, he was hired by Sports Illustrated magazine in New York City. He and Anne moved to New York, where she was employed by Time Inc. and also worked at International House. After the birth of their child, Louisa Ellis, Anne enjoyed taking her to Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum, only a few blocks away from their Park Avenue apartment.

In 1965, the Rudeen family moved to South Salem, N.Y., purchasing the house Anne owned until her passing. She worked as a substitute teacher for the Katonah-Lewisboro School District, primarily at John Jay High School. One of her former students recently said:

“When ‘Mrs. Rudeen’ came in to sub a class we always knew it would be a very interesting hour.”

Anne published her first novel, Summerblood, with Warner Books in 1978. It was followed by American Royal (Warner) in 1980, and Jam Archer and Wild Dalton in 2008. With her daughter Louisa, Anne co-wrote Tessa of Destiny (Avon Books) in 1980 and Green Lady (Avon Boks) in 1981, under the pseudonym Leigh Ellis. She also collaborated with Ken on a series of children’s books he wrote about sports heroes, published by HarperCollins in the 1970s.

Ken continued working for Sports Illustrated until 1996, ultimately attaining the position of Assistant Managing Editor. Thanks to his career, Anne and Ken attended innumerable memorable sporting events, including Grand Prix races, World Series finals and Olympic Games. They covered every America’s Cup from 1970 until Ken’s death in 2003. Even after his passing, Anne attended the America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, in 2010, and planned to go to the Cup in Bermuda in 2017.

In lieu of flowers, donations made Anne’s name to the Humane Society of Pasco County, http://www.humanesocietyofpasco.org/donations/ or to the animal rescue society of your choice would be greatly appreciated.

Santoro, Helen , 91, of Bedford Hills, NY, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, November 4, 2016. Helen was born on January 24, 1925 in the Bronx, NY to Vincent and Antonette and was the youngest of 10 siblings, all whom she loved dearly.

Helen married the late Frances Santoro and has two loving sons, Michael (and Rosemarie) of Hawthorne, NY and Robert (and Maria) of New City, NY. She is the beloved grandmother of Robert, Jaclyn (and Matthew), Lindsay (and Andrew), Stephen, and Jeffrey and the proud great grandmother of Matthew and Gianna. She was a seamstress for many years and continued her love of sewing into her 90’s.

Helen’s entire family meant the world to her and she loved them deeply. She loved living in Fellowship Hall for over twenty years and enjoyed going to the Senior Center everyday with her dear friends. Helen’s smile, sense of humor, and abundance of love will be greatly missed.

The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Mary of the Assumption Church, 117 Valley Road, Katonah, NY on Wednesday, November 9th at 10 AM. Interment will follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, 10 W Stevens Ave, Hawthorne, NY 10532.

Schadlow, Dr. Alan, recently honored by Northern Westchester Hospital for his 45 years of service and care for generations of patients in Westchester County, died peacefully at his home in Katonah, NY on October 10, 2016.

Dr. Schadlow was born in the Bronx, New York on May 16, 1939 to Joseph and Lillian Schadlow. He graduated from Bronx High School of Science and Long Island University. He initially studied pharmacology, but then decided to follow his true calling to become a doctor. Taking the bold step of travelling to Italy, he studied medicine at the renowned University of Bologna — the world’s oldest medical school. This changed his life forever, and he considered it the best decision he had ever made. It was there that he met his future wife, Elvira Ciulli. This adventure changed the course of his life and opened up the world for a young man from the Bronx.

After completing his residency at Grasslands Hospital, he opened his own Internal Medicine practice in Yorktown Heights in 1972. He remained in practice until 2016, serving generations of patients in the northern Westchester area. He was affiliated with Northern Westchester Hospital Center where he served in various leadership positions, including president of the NWHC Medical Board. His greatest pleasure, after his family, was practicing medicine and caring for patients.

Stanley J. Slote, a leading Westchester County, NY, builder who made a striking mid-career, midlife pivot into the world of books, died on July 23rd at his home in Somers, NY. After the fourth printing of his classic 1975 reference work, “Weeding Library Collections,” a 2002 New York Times article, “So Many Books, So Little Space,” dubbed him the “Darwin” of the multidisciplinary—and often contentious—field of library science. Dr. Slote was 99. During a multi-pronged career that spanned nearly six decades, Dr. Slote relinquished his role as a prominent builder in the Northeast to earn his PhD at Rutgers University. While still a doctoral student—and continuing over many years as a teacher of library science at Queens College—he pioneered the use of statistical analysis to systematically “deaccess” volumes crowding library shelves. “As Mr. Slote saw it,” reported the Times, “collections could be separated over time into two stark categories, read and unread. Books that hadn’t been touched in years were just taking up space, a library’s scarcest commodity.” His method of weeding resulted in both added room for new acquisitions and improved circulation, and became known as the Slote Method, a widely-accepted “best practice” solution employed by countless libraries since. Dr. Slote, was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on June 17, 1917, to Benjamin and Muriel Slote, both Russian immigrants. He graduated from Cornell University in 1939, and served in World War II as a 2nd Lieutenant navigation officer. Sent by the Navy to the the American midwest to transition back to civilian life, Dr. Slote met Margaret Larson. After moving to Westchester County, NY, Dr. Slote founded the Crossway Construction Company in the early 1950s, and became President of the Home Builders Association of Westchester in 1957. He actively campaigned for federal support to increase lower- and middle-income housing, stating in a newspaper interview that “a no-man’s land” existed for “white collar employees, teachers, police and firemen”, who were “vital to the proper functioning of our Westchester communities.” After his remarkable second act as writer/teacher, Dr. Slote moved on to still a third career as “profit improvement specialist.” In that capacity, he raised the bottom lines for dozens of small and medium-sized businesses, notably guiding the Freelance Photographers Guild to a ten-fold increase in size. “He completely transformed the way the company operated,” recalled the company’s former CEO, Jessica Brackman, citing his “wise counsel”. Dr. Slote would disconcert some clients by insisting they provide him with a nap room—some 40 years before Arianna Huffington heralded office naps as a performance-enhancing tool. Divorced in 1975, Dr. Slote married the former Frances Hagemeyer in 1981. She survives him, as do his three children, Audrey Slote Tirendi of White Plains, NY, Patty Slote of Portland, OR, and Jon Slote of Newton, MA; his two step-children, Ann Johnson of Morristown, NJ, and Alice Hagemeyer DuBon of Mount Kisco, NY; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
